Cinematographer-turned-director Shaneil Deo's directorial debut, Dacoit: A Love Story, starring Adivi Sesh, Mrunal Thakur, and Anurag Kashyap, saw a dip in collections on its first Monday, collecting ₹2.70 crore net in India, taking its domestic total to ₹22.50 crore.
The film, which opened with ₹6.55 crore on Friday, maintained a steady run over the weekend, collecting ₹6.85 crore and ₹6.40 crore on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.
Dacoit seems to be performing better in Telugu than the Hindi version despite being shot simultaneously in both languages.
The film's domestic collection of over ₹20 crore means it might cross the ₹25.92 crore lifetime domestic haul of Sesh's previous film HIT: The Second Case (2022) soon.
